Correct answer is: 250

Key Points:

In recognition of the state government's groundbreaking reforms, the World Bank has extended an unconditional loan of $250 million to Supporting Andhra's Learning Transformation (SALT) project.
The SALT project's reforms have resulted in a paradigm shift in the way education is delivered, and the results have been encouraging.
The SALT Project is the World Bank's first project in the school education sector to be funded without any conditions.
In the last three years, approximately 53,000 crores have been spent on school education.
More than 40,31,239 children attended government schools during the academic year 2022-2023.
The lack of facilities or the adoption of English as a medium of instruction in government schools is not the cause of the decrease in the number of children.
